I have resisted the inclination to have this book restored and have adjusted the price accordingly to accommodate restoration if desired for the purchaser as it is such a unique item. Provenance – Inscribed by two hands: First inscription probably contemporaneous with publication: J – L inked through and obscured. "At the Great Posterne betwixt Cripplegate and Moorfields. Druggist." Postern. At the west end of Petty France leading into Moorfields within the precinct of the late Monastery or Priory of the New Hospital or Hospital of the Blessed Mary without Bishopsgate 2nd inscription to verso free endpaper "Robert Robson Anno Domini 1733" with some practice writing "To – To - To" below it. Perhaps in a younger hand than the inscription on the opposite page 3rd inscription on crown page: "Robert Robson Book A.D. 1733." "Sacrilegy est instar." "De grote state principu disputart. Alsted" Sacrilegy est instar - Justinian's Code and later interpreters such as Frederick II used this concept to argue that questioning the ruler's decisions was akin to violating religious sanctity. Interesting to note that the Alsted quotation is in Dutch Robert Robson appears to have been a well-educated individual with knowledge of canon law. He has also made a marginal annotation to the Prayers: "Pem. Arcadia p. 243" ie The Countess of Pembroke's Arcadia; by Sir Philip Sidney. Frontispiece to 'Eikon Basilike: The pourtraicture of His Sacred Majestie in his solitudes and sufferings'; emblematical design; to right Charles I kneeling on his left knee looking upwards with his head three-quarters right holding a crown of thorns a book propped on the table in front of him and a crown at his feet; a ray extends from his left eye to the crown of martyrdom at top right. The frontispiece is cropped to be accommodated in such a small volume. "Marshall's design is known in seven slightly different states – an indication that the image was in great demand with a plate being worn down by the continual printing process and re-engraving many times over. Multiple English and overseas editions of the Eikon Basilike resulted in five additional frontispieces based on the original design signed by contemporary engravers and etchers including Wenceslaus Hollar Thomas Rawlins and Robert Vaughan together with numerous unsigned versions by unknown artists after Marshall" William Marshall's Frontispiece to the Eikon Basilike 1649 By Pierce Helen; Kemp Geoff.

This copy complies with the British Library and Oxford University Magdalen College copies but there are variants with a further plate similar to the octavo editions. There is no evidence that this copy has ever had an extra plate. King Charles I of England was executed by beheading on January 30 1649 in London following his conviction for high treason after losing the English Civil War to Cromwell's Parliamentarian forces. This marked a major shift in British legal and political history.

1750ref. 21076France-Paris ca1750. Overall in very good condition with some small spots of surface wear. Oak box meas. appx. 85 x 195 x 140 mm. The box has been covered in dyed straw marquetry. Here the application mimics the 17th century "Hungarian stitch" a type of needlework with a colored flame-shaped pattern. The box is lined in paper daub blotted with a blue color. Hook and eye clasp. Commencing in the late 17th century straw marquetry was manufactured in many large cities throughout Europe. The first mention of such decorative objects and furniture is in Paris in 1652. General commerce in such goods was established by the 1750s when both Chervain and Delasson had workshops in Paris producing decorative objects with straw marquetry. The straw was first dyed then split length-wise and flattened with hammer blows. The marquetry pattern was then laid out and glued to paper that was mounted directly on to the object to be covered. Color dyes were fugitive a result of lack of penetration into the cellulose wall structure of the straw and rapidly faded in direct sunlight. The same process was also used as a book binding decoration.

1701ref. 779Oxford: London : Printed for James Good in Oxford and sold by J. Nut i.e. Nutt London 1701. Second edition of the English translation by John Norton. ¶ Duodecimo; A-E12 F11 A1 half title present Bound in original full calf missing some leather from spine but cords are very strong. ESTC Citation No. N1243 415J. Some wonderful quotes for this book: The Answer of R. W. to his Friend importunately desiring to know what LOVE might be I Acknowledge the wanton Ty∣ranny of imperious Love that is always requiring the most diffi∣cult Trials of the Affections. Now though it be a kinde of an Hercu∣lean Labour it self to Love considering those severe duties those toyls and hazards appendant to it; as if Cruelty were its sole delight: Nevertheless we believe it reasonable what names so∣ever we have given to Love that he should exercise his Soveraignty which is certainly very great and puissant; and by the Severity of his Commands that he should augment the glory of his high Rule and our obedient Sub∣mission. "However this is the supreme Office of Reason to make a right choice of Disposition and Conditions; to choose a Companion with whom we are sure to live with more delight than with our selves; whose judgment we may be sure to follow as our own: or else to stay till we can finde a proper Ob∣ject of Love. Then also so to love like one who is guided by Judgment not carried away by Passion; like one so far from ceasing that he is always beginning to Love. This is to joyn Patience with Constancy. This is to receive the Idea more fairly imprinted in the Minde than in Wax and to preserve more stedfastly. 'Tis the Of∣fice of Vertue to determine upon one measure of wishing; to covet a dispo∣sition and inclination like his own through all the changes of Fortune; and so to make two of one that they may act the same person.". The "Amoris Effigies anon. London 1649 1664 1668 1671. In 1680 appeared a loose English translation by a Robert Nightingale which deviated in many points from the Latin original. John Norris under the pseudonym Phil-iconerus published a fresh translation London 1682; 2nd edit. 1701; In his introduction Norris wrote of Waring's "sweetness of fancy neatness of style and lusciousness of hidden sense". Waring also wrote Latin verses including in Jonsonus Virbius playwright Ben Jonson.1639 reprinted in the 1668 and subsequent editions of the Amoris Effigies under the title of Carmen Lapidorium."
